By. Guzhovskii et al., Nondestructive evaluation of changes in local density of compressed components from composite materials, RUSS J NOND, 37(3), 2001, pp. 222-227
The paper analyzes improvements in the gamma-method for nondestructive eval
uation of density of constant-thickness components fabricated from highly f
illed composite materials, A facility designed for such measurements is des
cribed. The parameters of the radiation source and detecting instrument req
uired to guarantee the high precision of the method are determined. Results
of tests of the experimental facility are given.
